Regarding Music:
Please don't re-upload the soundtracks anywhere.
Please don't use sound effects in your own commercial works, or heavily sample pieces of the songs.
You can sell your cover songs (no remixes/samples) but please license them appropriately through Materia Music.
You can make your own sheet music for free, or sell sheet music through ArrangeMe.
Yes, you can perform UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE music at conventions / at a concert / at your school. If you’re a for-profit venture (e.g. an orchestra or something) you'll need to get licensed.

We are working to release a helpful infographic in the next few weeks with the aim to clarify for content creators what works and doesn't work on YouTube, so hopefully there is less confusion surrounding the subject. Please bear with us just a bit longer! 2/2

Materia stands firmly in support of human artists, and against generative AI models that use their work without consent, credit, or compensation. ( Read more: materiacollective.com/legal/ai_pol... ) The creator landscape is not what it was a decade ago.

Adding lyrics, creating interpolations or medleys, or making other creative adaptations goes beyond a standard cover license and requires additional permissions. Our team is always happy to discuss options and help guide you through the process—preferably before distribution occurs.

A fantastic opportunity for BMI-affiliated game composers: the inaugural BMI Composer Lab. bmicomposerlab.slideroom.com
The BMI Composer Lab is a one-of-a-kind program designed to nurture and champion the next generation of media composers. Through a carefully curated program, participants will develop the skills and first-hand experience needed to excel in the competitive field of music for visual media.

This is a rare opportunity to engage directly with some of today's most accomplished and in-demand composers, gaining insight into their creative process and professional journeys. In-depth critiques and small group discussions with composers and leading industry professionals will offer invaluable perspectives into both the craft and business of scoring. The experience culminates in recording sessions with The Hollywood Cinematic Orchestra, followed by professionally supervised mixing sessions at Bandrika Sessions.
